                                    RECITALS

          A.   On or about June 2, 2000, Lender made a $31,000,000.00 loan (the

Original Loan executed by Borrower to the order of Lender (the "Note"), (ii)
secured by, among other things, a Consolidated, Amended and Restated Mortgage,
Security Agreement, Fixture Filing, Financing Statement and Assignment of Leases
and Rents dated as of May 30, 2000 (the "Mortgage"), executed by Borrower for

          C.   In connection with the Original Loan, Borrower and Guarantor also

          F.   As a condition of Lender's willingness to enter into the
Restructure and to execute the Modification Agreement, Lender has required that
Guarantor execute this Reaffirmation.

                                                                              79
